Balloons, Balloons (This song was courtesy of my boss.  I am not sure where she got it.)

Balloons, balloons that float by my head, here is a balloon and it is RED
Balloons, balloons so shiny and new, here is a balloon and it is BLUE.
Balloons, balloons, that wave up and down, here is a balloon and it is BROWN.
Balloons, balloons that wiggle and wink, here is a balloon and it is PINK.
Balloons, balloons that hide in and between, here is a balloon and it is GREEN.
Balloons, balloons that shiver like jello, here is a balloon and it is YELLOW.
Balloons, balloons that reach to the light, here is a balloon and it is WHITE.
Balloons, balloons that float in a circle, here is a balloon and it is PURPLE.
Balloons, balloons that float high and stop, here is a balloon and it just went POP!




Craft:
Birthday cakes with candles for the kiddos to color and decorate with foam stickers.

I just passed out half sheets of constuction paper for the craft.  It fits nicely on it.
